Chapter 0312 – Folk Treasure Appraisal (I)
Now is the era of national entertainment. Even treasure appraisal has become a form of entertainment, not only is there a soundtrack when the experts enter the field, there is also a light pillar closely following the experts, the host next to the experts enter the field, making introductions to the people present, and every introduction of an expert will usher in bursts of applause.
In 2004, experts and professors are still very respected, several experts are quite famous, arching their hands to the surroundings, walking with small square steps to the back of the table and sat down.
Just the turn of Zhuang Rui appeared, there are some tangled, music and lights, although it is the same no less, even Liu Jia that sweet voice is still special to raise a few points, but some of the crowd in the field do not buy, a boo, which is not concerned about the hands of the object valuable, I am afraid that will be used as a rotten egg to throw it out.
“Mr. Zhuang, it’s okay, the bun has meat not in the folds, turn around and they identify the jade on the request to you.”
Sitting next to Zhuang Rui’s General Manager Qian is afraid that Zhuang Rui can’t think straight, and comforted in a low voice, in addition to him changing his name to Zhuang Rui’s teacher, the rest of the few are calling Zhuang Rui as Xiao Zhuang, after all, the age difference is too much.
“It’s okay, Mr. Qian, can’t stand this blow, then I don’t need to come.”
Zhuang Rui smiled slightly, opened the mineral water in front of him and drank it, this situation has long been in his expectations, if he is a treasure holder, see the appraisal expert is so young, I’m afraid that will also send a few boos.
But Zhuang Rui heart or some unconvinced, not to mention the jade, is the antique, if alone on the identification of true and false words, there is no one in this than he, of course, just think about it in the heart, this decathlon when up is not so comfortable, plainly hated.
“All guests, all collectors, welcome to participate in the first ‘promote national culture, collection treasure world’ folk treasure appreciation activities jointly organized by Beijing TV and Shandong TV, the following have Tan Mayor speech, everyone welcome.”
After waiting for the experts to take their seats, Liu Jia and a chubby male host of Shandong station. Standing to Zhuang Rui and others in front of the booth sang and did the host, then that noon showed a side of the deputy mayor on the stage to speak, but fortunately, the deputy mayor of the Lord did not make any long speech, after a few simple words, announced that the treasure appreciation activities began.
Shandong as a traditional cultural city, the history of the various dynasties hanging around in this literati countless, folk collection of the mass base is very strong, coupled with the Shandong TV station more than a week in advance to do the advertisement, today came to the scene of the people, there are thousands of people, in the hotel at the side of the door lined up in a long queue, the line is too long, there are a lot of people are even braving the scorching summer heat, in the hotel outside waiting for the.
There is also a squadron of armed police fighters at the scene to maintain order, from the expert appraisal of a row of long tables in front of the five meters away, with a rope pulled a cordon, for fear that a few come up to hold the same category of objects, so each time only three collectors holders of treasures are allowed to bring their own things, to enter into the cordon.
“Expert, please help me look at this thing. The elders of my family left it behind, I saw it there when I was four or five years old, this thing is quite Yaoqiao (Jinan: strange), you give a look is it real or not?”
The first person to come in is a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in ordinary, probably due to the heat of the day, the feet are still wearing slippers, holding a yellowish-brown jar in his arms, the jar is more than half a meter high, in the shape of a big belly and a small mouth, it looks like the weight is not light, the man is still gasping for breath when he speaks.
“Come on, put the thing on the table first!”
This job goes to ceramics appraisal expert Tian Fan, he got up and greeted the man to put the jar on the table in front of him, took a magnifying glass and observed it.
Behind a row of tables covered with red silk, sitting six people, Zhuang Rui sitting place is the most to the side, after a glance at the other two people took are not jade, will focus on the first person to hold the jar, the jar around some irregular patterns, just the more Zhuang Rui look at this thing, the more I feel a little like a childhood home pickles jar.
Tian Fan’s position from Zhuang Rui also separated two people in the middle, Zhuang Rui see is not very clear, simply directly release the aura, into the cylinder, but found that the cylinder internal tire quality is shoddy, firing is very uneven, the slightest aura is also no, it is estimated to be really pickle jar. At this time, Tian Fan also finished reading and sat back.
The middle-aged man saw that Tian Fan sat back after using the magnifying glass for a while, he was a bit anxious and said: “Expert, you can look more carefully! This thing was there when my grandfather was alive.”
“This thing is a jar used for pickles, there is still a taste of pickles inside, it is a bit old, it should be produced before the liberation, but the workmanship is rough, the production is large, there is no collection value, you’d better take it back!” Tian Fan pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said something that made that middle-aged man disappointed.
“Didn’t you say that those that have been kept for a long time are antiques? To my detriment, I carried it all the way from my home, expert, are you sure this thing isn’t worth anything?”
The middle-aged man was a bit unwilling and asked another question, only after seeing Tian Fan nod his head did he pick up the pickle jar from the table and left cursing.
Zhuang Rui was not light by this person, take a pickle jar as a treasure, is this the folk treasure appraisal?
From Zhuang Rui separated from a position of Sun Lao, after seeing the expression on Zhuang Rui’s face, said with a smile: “Do not be strange. These people all feel that their things are treasures, you give them the truth! Sometimes they think we are lying to them, Old Tian’s temper is a bit straight, always like this, Xiao Zhuang you don’t want to talk too much! If you can’t see through the truth, just say you can’t see it.”
Zhuang Rui smiled at the words, it seems that this sentence is really the circle of the jargon, the old man taught himself to say so, and now the side of this is also said, is really universally applicable ah!
“I say young man. This thing is older than your age, but not much more than a few years, the sixties that will be printed, and then put a few decades may be able to become an antique, now the time is still short.”
Zhuang Rui is joking with Sun Lao, next to the voice of Fatty Jin, but he looked at the object is also appraised, he identified the person who took a fan, said Tang Bohu’s authenticity, Fatty Jin after seeing it is also laughing and crying, this is a sixties of the prints, had no choice but to invite this one out.
Due to the scene to identify the treasure of too many people, the organizers and experts discussed, different categories of collectibles, can come up at the same time to identify, so that the six experts can be busy, but also can increase the speed of identifying objects.
In this way, in addition to Zhuang Rui on the field, everyone is busy, may be the jade collection of people less, one after another up more than twenty people, actually no one is identifying jade, Zhuang Rui appears to be a bit idle, but this is also in his mind, interested in watching a few other experts to identify objects.
This category of antiques most of the painting and calligraphy, and Fatty Jin is also the busiest one, he even looked at eleven painting and calligraphy works, all identified as a forgery, the vision is extremely old and unique, Zhuang Rui has seen with the aura, which Fatty Jin did not have a piece of wrong, can not let Zhuang Rui heart admiration.
“Xiao Zhuang, follow Ma old brother, you should not be unfamiliar with miscellaneous pieces, right? Come, take a look at this snuff bottle.”
Seeing Zhuang Rui looking left and right with nothing to do, Sun Lao handed Zhuang Rui an enameled snuff bottle he was playing with in his hand.
“The thing is fake.”
Zhuang Rui took it over and pretended to look at it with a magnifying glass and gave the answer.
“Hey. Young man, this meal can be eaten casually, words can not be nonsense ah! This snuff bottle in my hands but some years.” Zhuang Rui did not pay attention, the words said some direct, the owner of the object to anger.
Zhuang Rui raised his eyes and looked, the owner of this snuff bottle is an old man in his fifties, dressed quite well, is looking at himself with a face of indignation.
“Xiao Zhuang, how can you be sure it’s fake?” Elder Sun also intended to test Zhuang Rui a bit.
“The murals inside this thing are purely burned first and then painted on, can it not be fake?” Zhuang Rui blurted out, when he used his aura to look at it, he realized that the mural and this glass bottle, were not burnt together at all.
“That’s impossible, I washed it with water when I bought it some time ago, if it was painted later, the color would have definitely fallen off.”
The owner of the snuff bottle became more and more unhappy, but it was a slip of the tongue, the object was not as he said, in the hands of years.
Zhuang Rui thought for a moment, from the table to pick up a long-handled cotton swab in order to wipe the object prepared for a single head, dabbed a little bit of alcohol inside the bottle in front of him, these things are prepared by the organizers, the appraisal of the time can often be used.
Zhuang Rui dipped the alcohol swab, reached into the snuff bottle vigorously rubbed back and forth for a while, and then removed the swab, put the snuff bottle owner’s face, said: “Uncle, there are a lot of pigments, not water can be cleaned off, the future to buy this thing, or be careful for good.”
That old man was said by Zhuang Rui’s face red, but looked at the color stained on this cotton swab, but a refutation words can not say, a snatch Zhuang Rui’s hand snuff bottle, drilled out of the crowd.
“OK, not bad, got a few points of Ma Lao’s true heritage.” Seeing that Zhuang Rui had shamed the old man who wanted to take advantage of him away in a couple of words, Sun Lao couldn’t help but give a thumbs up to Zhuang Rui.
Television station hosted this program, if the object is identified as a real antique, will issue a certificate of authentication, so that there is no lack of some with fake things want to fish in troubled waters, we must know, after these experts identified the certificate issued, that is immediately can make the original worthless fake antiques, into a thousand dollars worth of real stuff.
